Filtering

There are 2 options for filtering, tag based and storefront filtering.

1. Storefront Filtering:
   • Storefront filtering is set up the Search & Discovery app and is based on variants, availability, pricing, type, vendor, and other content
   • To use Storefront Filtering, uncheck (disable)  'Enable tag based filters'
     
     
2. Tag Based:
   • Tags can be used for a number of reasons, but to use them to filter products you must follow a simple structure: Group_Title
   • To use tag filters, check (enable) 'Enable tag based filters'

Group	Title	Product Tag
Color	Red	Color_Red
Size	L	Size_L
Gender	Male	Gender_Male

Sub collection navigation

Unlike other e-commerce content management systems, Shopify does not have a method of creating sub-collections.  Avenue achieves this by using Navigation menus to relate collections.

The majority of time, the main menu will provide the structure you need to display sub-collections, but you have the option of creating a different menu and setting it with the 'Sub collections navigation' menu picker.  The only restriction is that you can only use a collection link once and you must have more than 1 sub collection.

In this scenario, 'Collection' would be the parent collection & 'Collection 1-5' would be the sub-collections.  

This relationship is used on the following:

• Collection page sub-collections
• Collection page breadcrumbs
• Collection page sidebar sub-navigation
• Product page breadcrumbs
